Best way to wire.

[Kaltenberg 10+ year member]

I have a P.A. Amp 2 Channel (800 x1 4ohm| 370 x2 rms 2-4 ohm)

Alpine Type X dual 4 ohm 1000rms (500 each coil)

I dont know how to do all the correct ohm wiring and all so i want to ask so i dont blow this sub like my last one. How should i wire it?

Should I use either of these?

Ick, get a monoblock. I can't help you there, never used anything but a 1 channel.

 

[twisztdauthorit 10+ year member]

wrie it for 2 ohm load.. you will get most power that way

 

[Kaltenberg 10+ year member]

monoblock? not looking for anything expensive. and why would i need it?

and twis, like the diagram i got up there or a different way?

 

[twisztdauthorit 10+ year member]

o i just saw your amp... not rated to go down to 2 ohms is it?

 

[twisztdauthorit 10+ year member]

ok run each coil two its own channel... coil 1 gives channel 1 a 4 ohm load anc coil 2 gives channel 2 a 4 ohm load

am i making sense?

since both channels are rated for 4 ohms each and 4 ohms max bridged right?

Having one channel does not make the amp more expensive. To me, it's easier to wire into what ohm load you want, instead of bridging and all of that (in your case with 1 sub)

ok so, the amp has 2 channels, 4 termanals ill call them. The end 2 terminals are used to bridge, so your saying take one end terminal and wire it to one voice coil and the same for the other terminal?

 

[twisztdauthorit 10+ year member]

all 4 terminals will be used...

Alright, well i dont get it then haha, sry. if i use all 4 then each voice coil on the sub is only getting 370/the 500 it can handle. is that what your planning or am i wrong.

Yes, one channel per voice coil. Each coil gets 370wrms. That's the most you'll get from that amp, since it doesn't say you can bridge it with a 2-ohm load.

o dam. and whats that monoblock? would that change any of my power outcome?

 

[jfsh90 10+ year member]

NO, it's just one channel. No seperation. You can use that RF diagram for the monos pretty easily.

I just like working with them, it's all just preference.

Alright, thanks for the help. Maby ill check into a new amp for x-mas haha.

rly appreciate your time tho.
